Hi Folks, Given the search string: ----------------------- next tues tues next ---------------------- I'd like to match both. Of course, " next tues|tues next " works. Is it possible to use backreferences such as " ((next) (tues))|($2 $1) " ? This is just an example... My actual regex is much larger.

This is my new favorite thing!
EDIT: Just for fun, I highly recommend activating "speak controls" and putting the "number of controls to add" at some really large number...

Hi Folks, I found the most excellent Capture2Text http://capture2text.sourceforge.net/ by Christopher Bochtrup. It's an OCR tool made with AHK. It works great! One feature is the ability to add a "white-list" of acceptable characters to be recognized. I wanted an ability to use different white-lists...

Thanks guys, for the tips. Ultimately I guess it's like Lexikos said, you just have to use it to learn it. The various tools are nice though, because you can immediately see what all the different matches are at once. Above, I mentioned Expresso, which is nice because of its "builder." I did notice ...

Hi Folks, I've used regex a tiny bit and am trying to learn more, for a specific project I'm working on. From what I've read, the version of regex that ahk recognizes is fairly similar to other varieties, and is based on Perl. There are a couple free tools I've found for testing regexs I make. Of co...

Just for fun, (well, also to actually use) I'm making a tool similar to Copy2Contact. I had a copy of it, when it was still called "Anagram." Very cool software, but the pricing policy was a no go for me. The way is worked was that you'd select a bunch of text, then Anagram would analyze the text an...

Hey Lexikos (or other), Is it possible to change those toolbar icons? I tried changing the icon number (like %ICONRES%,13 as above). That works, but things like: =Scriptlet: My Header|%LOCALAHK% tools\SUtility.ahk /insert "My Header"||%LOCALAHK% tools\106-ntshrui.ico or =Scriptlet: My Header|%LOCALA...

kunkel321

Hey it worked!

Code: Select all

; Place here your tools
=RegEx Tester|%LOCALAHK% tools\RegExTester.ahk ||%ICONRES%,13

Thanks Lexikos!

Hi Guys, I'm back again, but with a different question a feature request: I've identified a few pretty cool scripts that I can use in the process I writing my own scripts. I was pleased to see that SciTE already incorporates several of these, such as scriptlets, the commenter tool thing, and the dia...

Thanks guys! ArcticNose: good point with the RunWait. I guess that's probably more foolproof than a static sleep time. And in more cases it's probably faster too! Flipeador: That's very cool! (and way over my head--lol) I might try to integrate that into a simple GUI, where command buttons fill up a...

kunkel321

Thanks Guys, these both work perfectly! It's interesting to note, I put both of these in the same script, under the same hotkey with ArcticNose's first, then TheDewd's. I guess reg reading must be faster than running rundll32, because the popup msgbox was telling me the printer before the change... ...

Googling lead me here: https://autohotkey.com/board/topic/16864-works-switch-default-printer-upon-hotkey-trigger I made a couple tiny edits for the script. Put "system32" and put my own printers. (see below) Doesn't work though... It just says, "HP LaserJet Professional P1606dn" is the default wheth...

I had the same error with a gui variable I was using. It ended up being because the gui was getting "recreated" without getting "destroyed" first. Putting Gui, Destroy at the top of the gui stuff fixed it... I'm also new to ahk though. So I'm not sure if that will work for you or not.

kunkel321

Thanks Fade! It looks like you were right. The date tool is always activated from an editable text field, so I didn't need any WinActivates... Just getting that GUI out of the way seemed to do the trick :) 9Grid: 9GridChoice = %A_GuiControl% Gui, dp:Destroy SendInput, %9GridChoice% Thanks again.

kunkel321

Hi All, I suspect that I need to use "GuiControlGet" but I'm not sure. In the image you can see the nine buttons with "dates" (They're not really dates per ahk code, they're dynamic "%month/day%/%year%" compilations.) The entire code is below (minus the INI) , but the problem bit is this: 9Grid: Gui...

For the one just create a hotkey that exits the app. for instance esc::ExitApp ;escape key exits applications For that matter, I like to have reload as a hotkey as well: RAlt::Reload ;Right alt will reload running script Joe, did you mean that you have a separate script running that includes these ...

kunkel321

Only post it if it's safe for nOObs like me. Or maybe post and put a warning that it changes your registry. WHat does the ending registry key have on your system? Does it have the "%1" ? I suppose it does. I think that's actually somewhat standard for passing arguments via command line....

kunkel321

Yes, both of those! ------------ Hooray! It works! Thanks for hanging in there guys (especially Lexikos). As it turns out, I had previously tried the portable version of SciTE, but quickly gave that up because it wasn't able to run the scripts. I guess it *was* a permissions issue with the SciTE sub...

kunkel321

Thanks for the continued help guys. I uninstalled everything and then installed regular 32bit AutoHotkey, and installed SciTE in the same directory. AutoHotkey does seem to have installed correctly and is able to run a script. If needed, I'll probably just do my editing it Notepad. Lexikos, I checke...

kunkel321

Anyhoo.... At first I was trying to identify which ahk tools were the best fit for me. It seems like I keep coming back to SciTE and SmartGUI. My mistake was not leaving well enough alone. I tried to customize the AutoHotkey toolbar that's on the right of SciTE's toolbar. Things went downhill from t...
